Pours a clear copper-red color with a small top off-white head with some lacings on the glass.Aroma is off caramel,bread,toffee with hints off raisins,chocolate and earthy hops. The flavour follow the nose in much aspects. It is malty and sweet with a slight bitterness from earthy hops in the finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy with a medium body and a medium carbonation. All in all is a decent and easydrinking ESB, but it never get that impressing.

One of my very favorite examples of traditional English bitter, a style that seems sadly maligned these days. It may lack the powerful flavors that a big IPA or stout can bring, or the complexity of a lambic or other wild ale, but few styles are as satisfying and comforting. Especially when had on cask at a proper pub, this is can be just about as good as it gets.

L: Orange-brown colored beer, light tan colored head. Thick and rich, with excellent retention. Leaves some nice lace.
S: Faint, but very malty. Bready, almost soapy in a way. Softest notes of caramel or toffee or something along those lines.
T: Sweet malts are prominent. Bit of raisin flavors present. Toasty grains, cereal, and finishes with a light, peppery hop finish. Almost spicy in quality.
F: Incredibly smooth and easy drinking. Silky and creamy in texture. Unfortunately drinks a little on the light side for me. None the less could crush this beer.
O: Not bad, if it were cheaper I could see this being a great session beer. Maybe one day when visiting the UK. Not a beer to blow you away but tasty and easy drinking.
